Are you tired of blockbuster series that all look the same, and of your favorite programs being canceled one after the other? Maybe it's time to take a break from the big streaming platforms. There's no better time to try a TV detox since a new, atypical (but no less interesting) streaming platform has just arrived in our green lands. To celebrate its tenth anniversary in style, the French magazine Society is launching a streaming service simply called Society+, which offers a catalog dedicated to to documentaries of all kinds.
Unsurprisingly, Free is taking the opportunity to offer a new gift to its customers. Freebox subscribers, new and old, can now enjoy free access to Society+ to discover its unique content with complete peace of mind. To take advantage of it, nothing could be simpler: just go to the Video Club / VOD menu on the Freebox to start a 7-day trial period, exclusive to Free users. You will then have a week to dive into an ocean of documentaries. However, remember to deactivate your subscription if you don't like the content. Indeed, once the initial 7-day period has passed, subscribers will be billed €4.90 per month to maintain their access to the platform, without commitment.
A documentary platform, is it really worth it?
On paper, the concept of Society+ is less of a dream than other competing services, that's for sure. However, the French platform is arriving on the market with an already solid offering. It is presented as the direct continuation of the magazine's editorial line, namely “History, Human, Humor”. The catalog already offers no fewer than 200 documentaries, which address topics of society, culture, investigation and more.
Society+ seeks to undo the old-fashioned image of documentaries by offering varied themes adapted to all profiles. Headlining the bill are a production called La Taupe, which plunges viewers into an infiltration of the North Korean regime, and It’s not funny anymore, which tells the story of the co-founder of Vice, who became the leader of a pro-Trump masculinist group. It’s hard to be more topical. This type of service brings a much-needed breath of fresh air to the video streaming industry, but it remains to be seen whether the concept of Society+ will succeed in convincing French viewers. For now, the platform promises to add at least 2 documentaries per month.
